ABSTRACT:
Compositions and methods are provided for prevention and clinical treatment of various forms of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by using inhibitors of adenosine deaminase (ADA). In particular, various formulations and dosing regimens of ADA inhibitors such as pentostatin are provided for the treatment of all forms of GVHD, especially steroid-refractory acute and chronic GVHD.
